Update 2\/2\/10: <\/strong>3 months, $800 worth of shipping, a $125 detail job and $75 worth of title transfer and this car is back on eBay,<\/a> now out of Florida. The opening bid of $28,500 represents a hefty profit of $13,500 if my estimates are good, and if you buy it now for $39,800, the seller can take a few months off. I’ve said it before -I’m in the wrong business.<\/p>\n

Giulia Spider 1600 10123*373358. <\/strong>This Spider sold on eBay <\/a>recently for $14,000. Based on the uninspired auction description it sounds like the seller inherited the car and never thought or did much with it.<\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>This car looks really good. The trim has a good shine, as does the paint, and the curves are all going the right way. Someone took good care of this car at some point.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>From the side it’s still a good looking specimen. I haven’t seen white stripe tires in a while!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Nice red paint, good trunk fit. Top is even pretty nice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a>Weird that a car this nice would get such an ambivalent auction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"spider<\/a><\/p>\n

‘m never a fan of two tone like this but the presence of seats and seat tracks that are correct is a big deal. I think the steering wheel has a cover, which could be hiding something. All in all, not too bad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking at the pictures, if it can be made roadworthy without much work someone got a decent deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
